Product Review - Aveda Tea Tree Oil - An effective pimple/ acne treatment solution

It has been a while since I had some breakout. Recently, I bought a Vitamix blender and went way overboard in terms of drinking almond nut milk and ended up with some pretty bad breakout. Yes, it was due too much almond nuts.

I just realized that I have a brand new Aveda Tea Tree Oil solution in my bag that I bought quite a while back before I tried the amazing Etude House Pink Powder Spot Treatment. My first instinct is to reach for my favourite Pink Powder spot but decided to give the Aveda Tea Tree Oil a try for my latest breakout.

My experience

The smell is a little strange but it is not horrible. In fact, it smells better than the Etude house pink powder. More importantly, the smell goes in less than an hour (or I got used to it?). All I need was drip 2-3 drops on a cotton bud and apply the solution directly on my pimples. I did it twice a day, morning and night. It only took 2 days to see remarkable improvement. My pimples were reduced in size and were not red any more. I continued for another 2 days and they look like they have almost cleared up. Oh yes and unlike most pimple solution, it does not leave the applied area feeling dry. I am pretty happy with its effectiveness.

Verdict

I love the Aveda Tea Tree Oil. It was effective and does not dry up my face. It definitely works better for the day treatment than the Etude House Pink Powder (Day). For more effective night treatment, the Etude House Pink Powder (Night) is still the best!
